Public Speaking Develops Confidence
At Gosford Public School the teachers recognise the importance of being able to speak confidently in public.
All students, from Kindergarten to Year 6 are given the opportunity to enter Public Speaking Competitions at either a school level or at Regional level.
Each year, the students at Gosford Public School are encouraged to participate in a school based public speaking competition. The students prepare and present a speech to their year group and winners are chosen to represent their year and present their speech at a whole school assembly.
Students in Years 3 - 6 are also encouraged to enter the Regional Public speaking Competition. Each student has to prepare a speech choosing a topic from a list they are given. On the Central Coast Competition day the children also have 5 minutes to prepare an impromptu speech from the same set of topics.
